Dan O'Bannon
 

Well, we've touched upon just about every major director (both good and shitty). Let's talk writers.

Dan O'Bannon. He's one of my favorites so let's start with him.

My favorites are Lifeforce, Alien, Dead & Buried, Total Recall, and Return of the Living Dead.

O'Bannon might be one of the most influential writers of all time if you consider how Hollywood has used his Alien script as a blueprint for just about every sci-fi/action movie since. Of course O'Bannon himself ripped off It: The Terror From Beyond Space, but that doesn't count because Hollywood execs don't watch black-and-white movies.

I also like Resurrected a whole lot. Plus he seems to be just a fun film geek.

DARK STAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love that movie lol.

Haha. An early effort from O'Bannon as well as Carpenter. Weird ass movie.

Hell ya it was. Remember the alien in it? The big orange beech ball ?lol, i love this movie. Its funny as shit.

I found Life Force strangely erotic. Except for Patrick Stewart, of course
